The problem with running straight pipes is it sounds alot less smooth, raspy even. And at the back of the truck at idle, the exhaust loping is noticably staggered left, right, left, right etc. So it almost sounds like you're running rough with slight missfiring just due to the firing orders sound through dual exhaust. The x-pipe gives a smoother sound that I personally like better.
